Altenew Celebrating Parents Card Drive Blog Hop + Giveaway

The goal of this card drive is to send cards for the elderly that lives in nursing homes or shelters to
let them know they’re not forgotten. How awesome and thoughtful is that!?

I have two projects to share for this hop. First up, it is Father's Day card.

I know masculine cards can be a challenge to create. In this case, I let the stamps, white embossing , card stock and woodgrain paper do all the talking.

I think the torn edges are perfect addition to this design, don't you think?

Next is a Mother's Day card to my sister-in-law. I love the idea of sending lovely Mother's Day cards to our love ones who are also mothers. In fact, my Mother-in-law just passed away, this Mother's Day is even more important to tell my sister-in-law how much I appreciate her.

Prizes: Altenewis giving away $50 gift certificates to THREE lucky winners.

I do love the torn edges with the white embossing. It's a perfect Father's day card. Your card for your Sister-in-law is just Beautiful! I love the splatters in the background, the colors and the sequins you added. I'm sure it will make your Sister-in-law feel very special.

Two awesome cards, Virginia! The torn edges on the first one is perfect for your masculine design and your blooms are gorgeous on your 2nd card!I am so sorry to hear that your mother-in-law has passed away...my sincere condolences to you and Dr. John!

I love your father's day card! It's so clever and I love the classic neutrals. And your mother's day card for your sister-in-law is just gorgeous! Love the added detail of the thread and sequin, it's just lovely!

These are great Virginia. I always need ideas for masculine cards, sadly this is my first father's day without my Dad but (like you) my husband and brother/BIL's would appreciate them as I am sure your sister in law will as well! TFS! {{{HUGS}}}

Wonderful cards. I think your father's day card is fab, the woodgrain paper is perfect and yes I think the tearing is very masculine. Your sister in law's card is very beautiful. I really like the subtle background stamping too.

Wonderful cards, Virginia! I probably would've cut the top of the woodgrain paper - but I love the way it looks torn. (I really need to step out of my comfort zone!) The Mother's Day card is simply lovely.

Adorable Father's Day card! You've definitely got a nice, masculine vibe going on and I DO love the torn edge on the woodgrain; it really fits nicely. And that Mother's Day card is so beautiful! Love the soft colors and the sweet sentiment.

Condolence for your loss. It is amazing that inspite of that, you still continue to inspire us with your creativity. Both your cards are awesome but I just love your mother's day card, I would love to create something like that for my sister and mom.

Your cards are absolutely gorgeous! I am getting so many great ideas and will be making a few cards for the hop if I can get well enough to get out of bed and walk more than five feet without resting! TFS!

Sorry about your MIL ...I agree how important it is to tell those we love how much we love them. Hearing those words has an amazing power to heal and multiply. Wonderful torn edge on the fence gives it a great look.
